The Cenote at ChitChenitz'a. I managed to do a little cliff diving in the water. This was as far as I got, as I wasn't able to convince myself to jump from the top ledge! The trailings in the left picture are the roots from the plants growing at the top of the cave entrance.

We had a wonderful Mayan guide take us through the ruins. Up until a few years ago, local Mayans were still living in the park. Our guide, Rafaello, grew up on the compound, and now makes his living as a guide and archaeologist. Only 10 to 15% of the ruins have been uncovered, so there is still a lot of work to do.
